*Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future
results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns
and principal value will fluctuate and shares when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost.

After Tax Held returns represent return after taxes on distributions. Assumes shares have not been sold.
After Tax Sold returns represent the return after taxes on distributions and the sale of fund shares. Returns
do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Market Price returns are
based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread on the stock exchange on which shares of the fund are listed for
trading as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. Returns are average annualized total returns, except
those for periods of less than one year, which are cumulative.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and
do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax
situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold
their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

**Performance information for the Indxx Global Agriculture Index is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual fund performance.

Indexes do not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the performance shown. Indexes are unmanaged and an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

On December 18, 2015, the fund's underlying index changed from the ISE Global Platinum™ Index to the Indxx Global Agriculture Index. Therefore, the fund's
performance and historical returns shown for the periods prior to this date are not necessarily indicative of the performance that the fund, based on its current index, would have generated.

The expense ratio for this fund is 0.70%.

ETF Characteristics

The fund lists and principally trades its shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

The fund's return may not match the return of the Indxx Global Agriculture Index. Securities held by the fund will generally not be bought or sold in response to market fluctuations.

Investors buying or selling fund shares on the secondary market may incur customary brokerage commissions.
Market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value of the shares. Investors who sell fund shares may receive less than the share's net
asset value. Shares may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. However, unlike mutual funds, shares may only be
redeemed directly from the fund by authorized participants, in very large creation/redemption units. If the fund's authorized participants are unable
to proceed with creation/redemption orders and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, fund shares may trade at
a discount to the fund's net asset value and possibly face delisting.

Risk Considerations

The fund's shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the fund. One of the principal risks of investing in the fund is market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular stock owned by the fund, fund shares or stocks in general may fall in value. There can be no assurance that the fund's investment objective will be achieved.

The fund may invest in securities issued by companies concentrated in a particular sector which involves additional risks including limited diversification. The fund may invest in small capitalization and mid capitalization companies. Such companies may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies.

An investment in a fund containing securities of non-U.S. issuers is subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting non-U.S. issuers. These risks may be heightened for securities of companies located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. The fund may invest in depositary receipts which may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market.

Investing in securities of German companies involves risks, including significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term growth, low fertility rates and declining net immigration putting pressure on the country's social welfare system, and the costly and time-consuming modernization and integration of the eastern German economy. Additionally, the European sovereign-debt crisis has resulted in a weakened Euro and has put into question the future financial prospects of Germany and the surrounding region.

Companies involved in the agriculture business and farming-related activities may be affected by certain legislative or regulatory developments related to food safety, the environment, taxes and other governmental policies.

Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund's investment and the value of Fund shares.

Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money.

Large inflows and outflows may impact the fund's market exposure for limited periods of time.

The fund is classified as "non-diversified" and may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. As a result, the fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, experience increased volatility and be highly concentrated in certain issuers.
